Strata’s theme this year is “Making Data Work”. The conference is sold out, but some of the sessions will be available as a live stream so you can follow along at home.

Battery Ventures kicked off the conference the night before, with friends and portfolio companies getting together nearby. For me attending Strata is a great way to keep track of what is going on in the rapidly developing Big Data space.

A group of VCs who invest from very early, through later stage investments talk about all things Big Data. There will be no “3 Vs” discussion here. The Panelists are committed to making this a lively discussion about topics ranging from the typical (what sectors do they want to invest in) to the atypical (what’s out there that they don’t like? Which Hadoop Distros are in trouble? Should any entrepreneur care about Data Scientists?).
